2017 Map of Opal Mountain

About this map

Opal Mountain stands at the center of this high-desert and forested landscape on the border of Jefferson and Crook Counties. Much of the southern half of the map is dominated by the Ochoco National Forest and the northern reaches of the Ochoco Mountains. This area is defined by its complex drainage network and high-elevation openings like Bingham Prairie and Moccasin Prairie. Numerous springs, such as Box Spring and Keller Cabin Spring, are critical water sources that have long supported the region's seasonal grazing and timber activities. Significant geological landmarks including Skookum Rock, Rooster Rock, and Dick Bluff serve as prominent navigational aids in a terrain marked by deep cuts like Desolation Canyon and Poison Hollow. The map details a network of forest and county roads, such as Trout Creek Rd and Mc Kay Creek Rd, which provide access to these remote reaches of central Oregon.
